Canaiolo, Toscana Rosso

Giovanna and Stefano produce only 20 hectoliters or so per vintage of pure Canaiolo, from a 0.3-hectare parcel planted in the early 2000s. A rare example of Canaiolo in purezza, this deeply colored yet jubilant wine spends a year in used 225-liter French oak barrels after a spontaneous fermentation in cement, offering a juicier, breezier personality than the other red wines in the Pācina lineup, yet with an equally soil-marked core.
